Ex-soldier: 'The rage would build up inside me'

One in eight soldiers has attacked someone after coming home from a combat deployment, according to a Ministry of Defence funded study of 13,000 personnel.

A survey of around 5,000 Iraq veterans found that nearly 581 were involved in assaults, domestic abuse, and other violence soon after returning to the UK.

Lewis McKay spent five years serving in the army, and said when he returned sometimes the rage would build up inside him and he had urges to lash out.
